I'm looking to buy this cooler and wanted to ask about the ram clearance, does this cooler cover the first ram slot of this motherboard? I looked at pictures in google and every combo I found was only using 2 ram slots, so not sure if it will fit with 4 sticks. Thanks.

I wanna say I've seen at least one video where the tubing was a tight fit, but that's only if you care about the logo being oriented properly.

I have the X72 and this motherboard. Idk about your RAM height, but mine fit perfectly as long as you put the RAM in before the AIO (or the 1st slot before the 2nd RAM slot so you can slide it in from the side)

So the tubing actually goes over the ram slot, but it is high enough so that the ram stick stays below? Could you post pictures?

Not directly under, but enough to make installation of RAM annoying.

 

PS. I'm in wrong slot because I moved it to take pic, the correct channel is the 2nd and 4th slot for 2 sticks.
